Down with the King: McGarryBowen's new direction for BK
Love 'em, hate 'em, or simply creeped out by 'em, no matter how you felt about Crispin's efforts for Burger King over the years, at least they were memorable, especially among us advertising folk. (Okay, maybe that "especially us ad folk" was the problem.)
Nevertheless, it's time to shake the grinning rictus of a plastic king from your minds, and behold a new era, that of McGarryBowen.
Hey Whipple, Roast This! GSD&M lets everyone say farewell to Sullivan
Which advertising legend has had the biggest impact on your career? Clow? Goodby? Bogusky? Hagerty? Please, those guys may have inspired you, but what did they ever do to get your fledgling career off the ground? No, the correct answer is Luke Sullivan, whose masterpiece Hey Whipple, Squeeze This is like the Bible, the Qu'ran, the Torah and Dianetics of advertising, all wrapped up into one.
VCU Brandcenter and friends ask you to be STILLforJAPAN
Exactly four months ago today, the nation of Japan was rocked by a devastating earthquake and tsunami that left thousands dead, many times more displaced, and untold damage to the country's infrastructure. And while this traumatic event has faded from the headlines, a new campaign envisioned by students and friends of the VCU Brandcenter launches today, encouraging people the world over to be STILLforJAPAN.
Award Show Bedlam! D&AD, Marketing Awards winners announced
Hello ladies. Look at the award shows. Now back to me. Now back to the award shows. Now back to me. Notice something? Yes, Wieden + Kennedy Portland and Old Spice are still cleaning up at the big international shows. They've just picked up not one but two very rare Black Pencils at the 2011 D&AD Awards today, not to mention three Yellow Pencils, two Nominations, and two pieces they figured would be good enough to throw in their upcoming annual.
One (very, very, long) last look at what CP+B has done for Burger King
As you all know by now, fast food giant Burger King and long-time agency partner Crispin Porter + Bogusky have angrily fired each other or amicably parted ways or something like that. And regardless of what you thought of that news, there's no denying that the work CP+B did for BK over the years was pretty innovative.
So why stop now?
David&Goliath bring long lasting intensity to Universal Studios
Many,many moons ago, I visited Universal Studios Orlando with my family. I recall having a good time, and some of the rides were kinda cool. They had this King Kong one that, while being interesting with all this stuff happening around you, wasn't anything to write home about.
Maybe I shoulda waited for the one in Cali.
Cundari goes balls through the wall for BMW
I've had a driver's licence since my high school days, but I think I've used it more often as ID at clubs and liquor stores than to actually get behind the wheel.
But if I did drive, my imagination tells me it would totally be like this awesome BMW 1M spot by Toronto agency Cundari; wide open desert roads, total disregard for the lane and median lines, and concrete walls that require serious drifting skills just to keep you on your toes.
Camp + King, Old Navy want you dressing like some guys, not like others
For those of you who are used to having their Old Navy ads lovingly dipped in high fructose corn syrup and dusted with sunbeams and powdered sugar by the folks at Crispin, here is a new campaign that takes the brand in a less saccharine direction.
Created by Camp + King, the online videos spoof other types of men's fashion advertising before encouraging the viewers to "dress like a guy", not a lamb cradling fashion whore or a CrackBerrty slinging khaki cowboy.
Wrath of Cannes 5 kicks it up a notch with Tony Hawk
It's that time of year again, when the global advertising industry begins either stocking up on sunscreen and Tylenol or grumbling about how overrated awards are. Yep, The Cannes Lions are just around the corner, and you're either going or you're pretending it doesn't matter.
If you happen to fall in the latter category, you'll be pleased to know that The Wrath of Cannes is returning for a fifth straight year.

Delicious! Make and sell their own gf teriyaki sauce. Next door to Haley's Corner gf bakery. Safe for celiac.
It has been so many years since I have had teriyaki and this was so worth the wait! Safe for the very sensitive celiac.
I have had both chicken, and pork teriyaki take out from this restaurant, the plate contains two scoops white rice, a green salad, along with a huge helping of teriyaki. tip included under ten dollars. I would give 5 stars great food, great service, no worry of contamination of gluten. Will certainly try other gluten free foods from the menu.
Very good food, friendly staff and offers tasty vegetarian too! In the same plaza with businesses offering GF desserts too.
Delicious GF teriyaki!! Located next door to Haley's Corner GF Bakery, so you can grab dessert on the way out!

Five American presidents posed for photos when they got together for the opening of the Bush Presidential Library.
What caption would you use to describe the resulting picture?
My caption: Like them or not, they deserve our prayers and respect. I am grateful for the good in each one of these leaders. May God grant them wisdom!
Nobody wants to stand by Jimmy Carter. So the other four have that going for them.
The five most recent Presidents who have presided over the ruin of the United States are gathered together. (No, I did not forget about Reagan.)
United at last.
"I am not a gay"- Jimmy Carter.
Or maybe better yet-
"Who are these young doofuses and why am I here?"- Jimmy Carter
Hate to say it, but the guy afraid of killer rabbits is the best president in that room.
America: Differing Views, Shared purpose
"Hail, Hail, the gang's all here". Wasn't there a line or something aobut a "gang of five" in a song or whatnot?
Guess the man who puts his feet on the furniture.
"Name that Photo": Five Foolish Fellows.
All 5 seem to be looking in different directions—perhaps; " Why are we here again?"
My grandfather would have said "five crooks" or maybe "five bums." He was an Italian immigrant with no great love of politicians.
Although considering the people we send to Montecitorio (the Rome Parliament), we have only ourselves to blame. Having to explain Berlusconi was bad enough, but Beppe Grillo?

This paper reports a new portable microfluidic platform, "lab-on-a-display," that microparticles are manipulated by optoelectronic tweezers (OET) on a liquid crystal display (LCD). The OET has been constructed by assembling a ground layer, a liquid chamber, and a photoconductive layer. Without lens or optical alignments, the LCD image directly forms virtual electrodes on the photoconductive layer for dielectrophoretic manipulation. The lab-on-a-display was first realized by a conventional monochromatic LCD module and a light source brighter than 5,000 lux. It was successfully applied to the programmable manipulation of 45 μm polystyrene beads; more than 100 particles were transported with an optical image-driven control, following the moving edge of the image at every moment. The effects of bead size and bias voltage on the manipulation speed were also investigated. Due to the portability and compatibility for disposable applications, this new platform has potential for programmable particle manipulation or chip-based bioprocessing including cell separation and bead-based analysis.

Neue Nationalgalerie
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe | |
location | Berlin |
function | museum |
contributed by | NGHM |
The Neue Nationalgalerie (New National Gallery), the 'temple of light and glass' designed by Mies van der Rohe, houses a collection of 20th century European painting and sculpture. Its main exhibition spaces are below street level. The building comprises almost 5,000 square metres of exhibition space and around 800 metres of wall space a surprisingly large capacity hidden half underground beneath the famous steel and glass construction. The spacious glass hall at ground level lures the visitor inside, underneath the great black structural steel canopy. Along with Mies Barcelona Pavilion, the Neue Nationalgalerie is considered one of the foremost examples of structural abstraction emblematic of the International Style.

I know that feeling too. I can't wait for Spring. It has been a lovely, blustery day here today, and the sun has made an appearance. I thought I'd take some photos of the colour in my garden, as I try to do each month. There isn't a lot - but there soon will be. There are lots of bulbs now through, and in a few weeks I know will be colourful - but I really don't want to wait! In the meantime, my colour fix has to come from crochet and card making.
I love the look of your new scarf - those blocks are gorgeous and the yarn looks so soft. I look forward to seeing the "finished" photos.
Sara xhelloooo lovely vanessa xxxx
i still must reply to your kind email~ i seem to be catching one bug after another at the moment though ;0(
i think January is the 'lets just reach the end of it' kind of month...it does feel bleak at times all those dark cloudy rainy days dragging tired legs back from School.
i love your photography my sweet- it cheers me up ;0)xLovely photos and your scarf is going to be gorgeous. Coincidentally I was just looking through my block book (200 crochet blocks for throws and afghans) and am taken with a block that looks very similar to the silver/grey one in the front of your first photo - it wouldn't by any chance be from the same book would it? I am starting on a new lap blanket and want to use something different than the normal granny square. Nikki
ReplyDeleteI definitely enjoying every little bit of it and I have you bookmarked to check out new stuff you post."

Changes in Canoeing Comment
Posted by: TnCatfish on Sep-15-10 10:32 AM (EST)
After reading the article by Cliff Jacobson concerning the changes in canoeing I MUST agree 100% with his assertion that the lack of quality river/woods time is destroying our childrens' appreciation of the wilderness. They are losing the understanding of the need for wilderness areas and clean running streams.

What do you think of the
Mizuno Wave Precision 13 Running Shoe - Men's
? Share a...
Here's what others have to say...
Brian Mehregan
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
Disclaimer... I haven't bought a new running/training shoe in years. I have been wearing the same pair of Nike Shox since I can remember and while they are actually in great shape and did their job, I wish I would have tried something else sooner. Enter the Wave Precision 12...
First of all, these things are LIGHT! At least relative to the Nike's. I noticed that right away and loved it. Secondly, the support I get in these is amazing, I truly feel like my foot is wrapped in the shoe, which was hard to get without lacing the Nike's down super tight. Finally, the 12 mm drop feels so much more natural while running then what I am assuming was a much more serious drop that the Shox had.
I only have about 13 miles in these so far, but I am blown away. Maybe its just because it's been years since I upgraded, but I don't care, these shoes are awesome!
3 months and over 200 miles later and I am still loving these shoes, with no issues to report!
Lightweight GO FASTERS!!!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
Mizuno is by far the most comfortable running shoe I have ever owned. I've gone through at least 5 pairs, each pair with hundreds of miles on them. The PRECISION is lightweight, durable, and maintains cushioning for extended hours of hardcore training in all weather conditions. I've used them to pound pavement, hardcore trail running, or the occasional game of Ultimate Frisbee. They are long lasting, well made and constructed shoes. Nothing but good points for me.

When someone says they went to Saint Martins or CSM (what it's commonly abbreviated as), onlookers and new acquaintances will often respond with an
'oh, WOW'
followed by a
'so what was it like??'
That someone is me, and my puzzled reaction to this public curiosity is always the same,
'It was one of the best times of my life and that what I learn there could not have been learnt at any other college.'
At this point, I'm bombarded with the 'CSM 20 questions', realising just how proud I am of my 4 year stint at CSM.
Four years after my graduation back in 2007,
Central Saint Martins
opened it's doors at the new shiny location of Kings Cross, behind St Pancras station. The campus holds courses from the Charing Cross, Southampton Row sites and BA courses from Back Hill, which remains as the site for the Foundation Course.
I have to be honest, at first I was skeptical of the architecture and layout of the brand spanking new Saint Martins. It was the opposite of the Saint Martins I knew and experienced, and like most, I was scared it would tarnish my memories of the grand spiral staircase, the wooden doors and the old school quirks of Southampton Row. On top of this, in the lead up to 'the big move', I was informed (via my cousin,
Jasmine Lau
who is in her final year of her BA Graphic Design)of the drama and ongoing onslaught of the college's decision to relocate it's print facilities to the Byam Shaw's Archway campus. Long story short, we were all worried CSM would eventually lose its valuable workshops, experts and facilities, in favour of technology, and that the building would morph into the next Westfield Shopping Centre, erasing it's rich heritage that made the institution what it is today.
Well after a year-long build-up to 'the move' and 2 hour tour by the lovely press officer, Jo Ortmans, I can safely say, I love the new
Central Saint Martins
Designed by architects
Stanton Williams
, with the help of the college's tutors, they rebuilt in and around a Victorian granary and two former transit sheds in London. Following a competition-winning scheme,
Stanton Williams
were asked to masterplan and design a new 32,000m2 campus for 5000 students.
Combining a 19th century Grade II listed Granary building and transit sheds, with a 200 metre long new building creates robust spaces full of natural light. An internal 'street' draws daylight in and acts as a central circulation spine with suspended walkways, cafes, film, graphic and light projections. Part of this area is public so you can have a peek into the magnificent structure, but soon, there will be new commercial developments full of independent boutiques and cafes all around the college, pedestrianising this area and integrating it into the Kings Cross community.
Here are trivia facts and figures about the new build:
-More than 2.4 million man hours
-10 acres of gross floor area
-Enough concrete to fill 8 Olympic swimming pools
-More than 150 listed building consent and reserved matter conditions
-Over 1.3 million timber blockers laid to The Street floor in 882 days

I didn't get any writing done today or even my sunday chores, but still I feel so productive! Until today about 1/4 of my room, no joke, was taken up by a humongous wardrobe. It took up a whole wall! I really hated it from the first and I tried to pawn it off on Jenn, but she was having none of it. It really limited the options in my room and took up so much space that everything else was cramped, especially my desk, and I hardly had any room to sit at it and work which I'm sure at least partly explains why I have been so unproductive lately! However the wardrobe came with the house and I didn't want to have to buy a new wardrobe or dresser if I got rid of it. Then I spied this little gem from Ikea, only £25! and I decided it would look great in my room. So this morning Seb and I set off for Ikea. We took two buses to get there and it took over an 90 minutes so that was no fun, but then the adventures began. It was a Sunday so it was pretty crazy, but even so we managed to get in and out with almost everything we intended to buy and a few things more. Then we came home and started the hard work, disassembling the 'monstrosity' as I started calling the wardrobe. When I say we I really mean Seb because he did all the hard work of disassembly and assembly and carting the heavy bits in between, to the basement, which is full of our landlord's It's not quite done though. I got a small pine dresser which I want to paint black before assembling, and I got lots of frames for pictures and prints, but we don't have a hammer or nails so they're not up yet. I also want to get a frame for at least one other poster. Also I don't have a dust ruffle yet, Ikea failed on having the sheets I need twice in a row so I'm going somewhere else. It's going to look so great! I will put up pictures when it's done. I'm so excited and happy. It's been forever since I've been anywhere and had an expectation of staying for longer than a year at most. It's so nice to nest! I also got a pillow top mattress cover thingie so my bed is super comfy now. And I'm going to go use it.junk storage and is now more like bursting. So he definitely gets the awesome flat mate award. I also put up new curtains which I bought *last* Ikea trip. My room already looks so much better! It's a shock to walk in and see open space as opposed to the large wall of a wardrobe.

>> Cooked foods are not nutrient depleted. Refining and processing does destroy some nutrients and the more refined/processed it is, the more the loss, but these foods still have some nutrients. Isn't cooking removing the water(if any) from the food? In the case of grains isn't adding water make it a non-wholefood? Hence if you remove something(water in this case) from the food doesn't that non-whole food(refined food)? Yes there is some nutrients. If food is not refined then max nutrients is available(digestion allowed)

Suffice it to say Verizon shareholders have pined for Vodafone to sell and get lost.
CIBC World Markets's Tim Horan Friday writes in a note that Vodafone may finally be backing out — at least partially — as indicated by Verizon's filing with the Securities & Exchange Commission Thursday its intent to sell up to $8 billion in preferred stock and debt.
Horan says he thinks the reason may be not just to pay off debt, as Verizon is suggesting, but also because Vodafone is at last ready to exercise its $10 billion put option to sell to Verizon some of its Verizon Wireless stake, which would reduce said stake from 45% to 38%.
Horan's reasoning: Vodafone's under pressure from its shareholders to sell its stake, and there is a cutoff this summer for Vodafone to exercise its right to sell per the terms under which Verizon Wireless was formed back in 2000. "We believe the [Verizon debt] filing could signal the expectation that Vodafone is likely to exercise its $10 billion put option on Verizon Wireless this summer, given that this is the last year Vodafone has this option," writes Horan.
Horan says the bankers will have to determine the value of Vodafone's holdings to arrive at a price for any deal, but that he believes Vodafone could get cashed out at an enterprise value-to-EBITDA multiple of 8x.
Horan thinks it would be a good thing for Verizon if it got greater control of Verizon wireless. Nonetheless, he rates Verizon shares Market Performer, arguing that there will be better opportunities to buy the stock at some point in future.

Don't miss the art party—Vox Populi, Grizzly Grizzly and many other galleries close for the rest of August.
Sound/Stages II @ Vox Populi
We're in the dog days of summer, and Vox, sensing the fatigue, is throwing us a party (thanks, guys!). Stacked with classic entertainment standbys such as video, music and performance, Sound/Stages II proves the age-old saying: You get out what you put in. Bring a present, and you'll be rewarded with a custom wrap job, courtesy of Boston-based artist Jessica Gath. Deliver a homemade video, and Christopher P. McManus will screen it as part of Summer Open Video Jam. Show up looking like a beach bum, and you'll be right at home in Micah Danges' "slacker paradise" of surf and skate videos with the Grateful Dead on the airwaves and a signature cocktail of the artists' own design tucked into your hand. Participate in Lydia Grey's performance, and you'll be metaphorically connected to Nantucket, Mass., where artist Jim Jeffers will be performing the same piece, in synch 356 miles away—the closest most of us will ever get to those exorbitantly priced beach houses.
6-11pm. Vox Populi Gallery, 319 N. 11th St. voxpopuli.org
Simulsuck @ Grizzly Grizzly
On the eve before its August vacation, Grizzly Grizzly features Simulsuck , a performance by New Jersey-based artist Mike Richison. Incarnated here as a sculpture of found objects with musical inclinations, Simulsuck is an iteration of Richison's ongoing project to rig recycled materials into technologically savvy orchestras. Featuring video and experimental sound generated via a computer program, the performance has a self-reflexive element, capturing noise levels in the gallery and spitting them back out as a video assemblage. Stop by to chat with the artist about the nuts and bolts of the project and witness your conversation rolled into the free-form, improvised concert.
6-10pm. Grizzly Grizzly, 319 N. 11th St. grizzlygrizzly.com
Highlights, Low Fades, and Deep Cuts @ Tiger Strikes Asteroid
Though perhaps only by default, Tracy Thomason's paintings provide a space for contemplation amidst Vox's and Grizzly Grizzly's raucous antics. Highlights, Low Fades, and Deep Cuts showcases recent sculptural paintings by the Brooklyn-based artist. While not time- and sound-based like standard performance art, her paintings comment on subtler and more internalized performances of gender. Dusted with eye shadow and dribbled with hair gel, Thomason's objects offer traces of the ritualized performance of beauty. While grooming products skid across the canvas, esoteric materials such as 'temperance' and 'clairvoyance' are listed on her object labels, expanding the paintings into a more conceptual register. If you've ever thought that perhaps spray-tanner might be better aimed at a pale canvas than a pale epidermis, then Thomason is talking to you.
6-10pm. Through Aug. 28. Tiger Strikes Asteroid, 319A N. 11th St. tigerstrikesasteroid.com
Memories Last a Lifetime @ Jolie Laide
Marking the completion of a real-life road trip and the beginning of their gallery performance, longtime collaborators Jacob Feige and William Earl Kofmehl III will drive a 1975 Triumph Spitfire across Pennsylvania and park it in the gallery. In its new role as an art object, the car will serve as the hot-blooded centerpiece for the artists' ensuing performance. Adding an FM radio, papier mache birds, a basketball hoop and a painting, Feige and Kofmehl will use these props to enact a drama of isolation and renewal. Influenced by their personal history of art-making and friendship and pinned down by an ongoing fascination with Americana of the 1960s, '70s, and '80s, the performance involves Feige's transformation into an unresponsive My Buddy doll (1985? Red overalls? Blue shoes? Anyone?), which Kofmehl attempts to revive. A separate show of paintings by Japeth Mennes and Jeffrey Matthews will also be on display.
6-8pm. Through Aug. 27. Jolie Laide, 224 N. Juniper St. jolielaide.com

Channel 4 News Weather Presenter Liam Dutton warns that the big freeze will continue across the UK, as thousands of passengers remain stranded at Heathrow airport for a second day.
Please wait while this video loads. If it doesn't load after a few seconds you may need to have Adobe Flash installed.
The prediction of prolonged cold weather will bring a further chill to commuters and holidaymakers after two days of snow brought airports and transport networks to a shuddering halt.
Large parts of the UK will experience further snowfall today, with up to 4cm falling in the West and North and 6cm in the East Midlands, East Anglia and the South East, including London.
Up to 10cm could fall in local areas, and 15cm on higher ground, weather experts said.
The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for ice for much of the country and advised people to take extra care as snow turns to ice in the sub-zero conditions.
Weather Forecast from Channel 4 News' Liam Dutton
During Sunday daytime, north east Wales, along with central and eastern parts of England will see the heaviest snow, with 2-5cm, locally 10cm, falling on top of what is already lying on the ground.
The snow will then move northwards into northern England and Scotland during Sunday night into Monday, where it will always be heaviest towards the east.
Again 2-5cm can be expected widely, with as much as 10-15cm over the hills and mountains. Other areas will see further snow showers in Monday, with the chance of more persistent snow moving eastwards across southern parts of England and Wales.
Whilst there is some uncertainty about how heavy this will be, another few centimetres are possible. Much of this week looks cold and icy with further snow at times, although there are hints that it could turn milder next weekend with a thaw.
I'll be posting regular updates on Twitter, where you can also send me your weather reports and pictures - @liamdutton
Travel chaos
London's Heathrow Airport is braced for another day of chaos today as around 260 flights are to be cancelled - more than twice the number yesterday, and 20 per cent of the total number of departures.
Following a joint decision by Heathrow, airlines and air traffic control, the flight schedule will be reduced in an effort to minimise the expected disruption caused by snow and low visibility.
Passengers were left fuming yesterday, mainly at British Airways, after it cancelled at least 100 flights, leaving them stuck for hours on planes or stranded at the airport.
Many branded BA's treatment of them as "appalling", accusing staff of not keeping them informed as to what was happening. BA and the airport insisted they were doing everything they could in difficult circumstances.
Any fresh snow on top will just add to the problems. The AA
Travellers at regional airports including Leeds Bradford, Humberside and Newcastle were also frustrated by delays and disruption caused by the wintry weather.
The road and rail networks are also braced for further bad weather. The M48 Severn Bridge is closed in both directions between junctions 1 and 2, and is not expected to reopen until noon.
Among rail services, Eurostar is warning all trains will be delayed today, with a number of services to and from Paris and Brussels cancelled. Southern will run an amended timetable tomorrow because of forecast snow,
Freezing conditions have also also prompted motoring organisations to issue warnings. Darron Burness, the AA's head of special operations, said: "With the snow compacting down and turning icy, we're likely to see treacherous driving conditions throughout the weekend. Any fresh snow on top will just add to the problems."

Got a brand new Prince 5000 at my SA Store!:):)
I will cherish it. |
Nice! I love my new Neos (and the two that came before her) but when I go electronic, it's gonna be the Prince 5000. Two point mounting for life.
I got the prince 5000 and the stringway ms200, love them both! I really like the mounting system of the 5000 though, much more than the 6000.
Loved the 5000 when i strung on it last summer, had a problem with one of the clamp bases slipping but i'm sure it was just dirty and needed to be tightened. Gotta love the easy two point mounting system though.
It's nice to have the USRSA tech support. Too bad most of the SA stringers don't make use of it. I also fix bikes. :) |
No clue about the interface in the back, and ours came with a different pedestal than the one in the manual. Better, actually. Has a height adjustment crank. My first run with the machine was, alas, with a Head i165 raqcquetball racquet. Everything was nice except that the little,magnetic pad on the clamp came loose. after I worked it back into place, every thing went fine except that it was an i165. Sigh. |

M3 wheels on a Z4????
Does anyone know if the offsets on the 19" M3 wheels fit on a 2005 Z4???:confused:
Yes, they use the same offsets.
The E46M3 and the E85/6 Z4M have compatible staggered wheel offsets.
If you have a non M Z4 then you can only use the M3 fronts on all four corners. |

Earaches in children are common. They can be caused by fluid behind the eardrum, an infection in the middle part of the ear, or an infection in the ear canal (also known as swimmer's ear). Kids under 5 years old are at risk for ear infections, especially after upper respiratory infections.

Don't let Santa be the only one visiting your family this year. Read our Christmas fare tracking coverage here.
It's not even Halloween yet and Thanksgiving flights are already on our minds. Start your planning now so you won't be left heating a TV dinner in front of the boob tube.
We're tracking holiday fares again this year, and with over a month's data to analyze, it's clear that while you may still have a little leeway to scout, fares are already beginning to creep up.
Thanksgiving Flights on an Upward Trend
We've charted Thanksgiving fares on popular routes around the U.S. (fares are the same in reverse order) for a look at how prices are trending. Year-over-year, prices are about the same, but we're already seeing a fare price rise since last month, and it's likely fares will begin to spike upward as the holiday approaches. So even if you're not quite ready to book, it's definitely time to start tracking prices to your destination so you don't miss the decent-fare window.
Holiday Booking Strategies
Here are more tips for nailing down some solid savings for your holiday fare:
- Begin benchmarking fares as early as possible so you'll know a good price when you see it. If you haven't already started, don't delay.
- Steer clear of peak travel days such as the day before Thanksgiving and the last day of the holiday's weekend.
- Be in the know when sales come out: The sale match generally gets lit by one of the low-cost carriers on Tuesday, and by the following morning, competitors have jumped into the fray and created what we call a full-out fare war.
- Be flexible and check fares from nearby airports as well.
- Check out our previous installment on holiday airfare searches.
Your Turn
We'll keep you up-to-date on holiday airfare fluctuations in the subsequent installments of this monthly blog. Have you already booked your holiday flights? Are you expecting to pay much more than last year's voyage home?

Program & Thesis Requirements
Students are required to complete a series of courses focused on research methods training and thesis which represents an original scholarly contribution.
Format of the PhD Thesis
PhD students are also required to complete a thesis that describes a solo piece of original scholarship. The format of the thesis depends on the paradigms and methods adopted by the PhD candidate. However, the expectation would be that the length of a thesis would be at least 50,000 words in length, and would not typically exceed 100,000 words. In general, most theses in Marketing would be expected to conform to the following framework:
Chapter 1 |
Defining the research problem (i.e., rationale, significance, etc.) |
Chapter 2 |
Literature Review (i.e., core disciplines, historical analysis of marketing literature, recent developments, etc.) |
Chapter 3 |
Theory and Hypotheses: (i.e., theoretical framework, description of key variables and constructs, derivation of specific predictions, etc.) |
Chapter 4 |
Method (i.e., research design, data collection procedures, description of the sample, measures of key variables, etc.) |
Chapter 5 |
Results (i.e., key summary statistics, tests of specific hypotheses, ancillary findings, etc.) |
Chapter 6 |
Discussion (i.e., implications with respect to theory, implications with respect to industry practice, unresolved issues, interesting but unexpected findings, etc.) |
Chapter 7 |
Future Research Directions |
Appendices |
Bibliography |
Further information on the program requirements can be found on the Business School mandatory candidature requirements page.

The assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963 and the terrorist attacks of 9/11 are two events that scarred America and its people. In the aftermath of the assassination and the terrorist attacks, the American public was forced to sift through competing messages existing in the public sphere in order to make meaning out of the events. Although the American government, within a few days of both events, released who was ultimately responsible (Lee Harvey Oswald assassinated President Kennedy and Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda were responsible for 9/11), the people were still left with coming to terms for why such violence occurred.In order to provide a frame from which the American people could view and understand the assassination and the terrorist attacks, two blue ribbon commissions were formed: the Warren Commission, which investigated the assassination of President Kennedy, and the 9/11 Commission, which investigated the terrorist attacks. Despite the reports' purposes, significant segments of the population questioned both Commissions' conclusions. In both instances, conspiratorial understandings of the events grew after the publication of the reports so that, in the case of the Warren Commission, most of the American public believe Oswald did not act alone and, in the case of the 9/11 Commission, there is growing belief that the government's failure to predict and prevent the terrorist attacks was the result of a governmental conspiracy. This dissertation seeks to understand why, in our current times, official discourses are unable to prevail over conspiracy theories. This study proposes to illustrate the power of conspiracy discourse by examining it through the lens of official discourses that were designed, in part, to head-off conspiracy beliefs before they gained momentum within the American public. Such an inquiry will provide three main benefits: it will contribute to a more exacting understanding of the rhetorical power of conspiracy arguments in our times; it will provide insight into the relationship between official and conspiracy discourses (especially as they now exist); and, such a study has implications for determining the current direction of political life.

Borough Mayor Appoints High School Expansion Task Force |
Wednesday, 09 March 2011 | |
As part of the high school rebuilding and expansion project, the borough is hoping to get as much input from the community as possible. In a memo to the borough manager, Selby said the high school staff and others have worked long and hard with the design team to provide the team with needs and wishes of various school interests. Selby wrote that it's time now for a broader based group of Kodiak citizens representing various stakeholder groups to meat with the community and openly discuss the values of a range of concept options. To that end Mayor Selby last Thursday (March 3) appointed a long list of residents to what's being called "The Citizen's Advisory Committee for the Kodiak High School Project.": -((School Adv Committee :52 "We do have...design process.")) The newest person on the committee is Nelson Mira. Bob Brodie is the committee chair. Selby says the schools have had input, but this is the opportunity for the Kodiak community to speak up with ideas: -((School Adv Committee 2 :31 "This is the....as well.")) Selby said the committee will be super busy the next couple of months: -((School Adv Committee 3 :21 "They are going....the whole process.")) Borough Mayor Jerome Selby. I'm Maggie Wall. List of members on citizen's advisory committee: LIST is at bottom of story in Maggie's files.

We Didn't Mean Intellectual Diversity!
Don't you see the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the language of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible because there will be no words in which to express it.
George Orwell, 1984
You know that you are living in topsy-turvy times when the most close-minded institutions are colleges and universities which are purportedly dedicated to free inquiry. A hilarious example of the type of brain-dead ideological conformity enforced at most laughably described "institutions of higher learning occurred last week:
Gallaudet University's president, T. Alan Hurwitz, announced that he was putting McCaskill on paid leave because "some feel it is inappropriate for an individual serving as chief diversity officer" to have signed such a petition. "I will use the extended time while she is on administrative leave to determine the appropriate next steps," said Hurwitz, "taking into consideration the duties of this position at the university." Just last year, Hurwitz had praised McCaskill as "a longtime devoted advocate of social justice and equity causes." But she is apparently not allowed to have private political views. Continue reading
Global One Child Per Family Policy
Diane Francis, a columnist with the Financial Post, a Canadian newspaper, has a column here calling for a global one child policy.
A planetary law, such as China's one-child policy, is the only way to reverse the disastrous global birthrate currently, which is one million births every four days.
The world's other species, vegetation, resources, oceans, arable land, water supplies and atmosphere are being destroyed and pushed out of existence as a result of humanity's soaring reproduction rate.
Ironically, China, despite its dirty coal plants, is the world's leader in terms of fashioning policy to combat environmental degradation, thanks to its one-child-only edict.
The intelligence behind this is the following:
-If only one child per female was born as of now, the world's population would drop from its current 6.5 billion to 5.5 billion by 2050, according to a study done for scientific academy Vienna Institute of Demography.
-By 2075, there would be 3.43 billion humans on the planet. This would have immediate positive effects on the world's forests, other species, the oceans, atmospheric quality and living standards.
-Doing nothing, by contrast, will result in an unsustainable population of nine billion by 2050.
Although I think this proposal of Ms. Francis is both evil and insane, I do give her props for saying out loud what many environmental hysterics only hint at: Man is the problem. Eliminate as many humans as possible and the environment can by saved to be enjoyed by the anointed few like Ms. Francis.

The Delaware County Daily Times (
Dom Brown stays red hot as Phillies hold off Brewers (With Video)
By ROB PARENT
Sunday, June 2, 2013
PHILADELPHIA -- Jonathan Papelbon was elsewhere, trying to ride out the waves of nausea.
In the inner sanctum of Citizens Bank Park, Cliff Lee was dealing with his own health issues. A sudden bolt of cramps throughout his body undercut what should have been a completely dominating pitching performance against the Milwaukee Brewers.
Instead, Lee was hurting and since Papelbon was sick, Lee was ailing all the more while watching a Phillies relief effort melt much of what had been a seven-run lead right before his eyes.
"Yeah, that was a little bit frustrating," Lee said Sunday, after his onset of cramps had subsided and makeshift closer Antonio Bastardo had suddenly righted himself in time to nail down a 7-5 victory over the Brewers. "But what can you do? I wanted to stay in there and keep pitching, but at the same time, I know I need to be smart and use my head a little bit."
It wasn't his head that was hurting. Well, not until he had to watch relievers Justin De Fratus and Bastardo try to get the last four outs.
The Brewers had only managed a handful of hits, and were in a 7-0 hole, largely due to another monster day at the plate by Domonic Brown. But Lee, with 11 strikeouts already notched into his belt, suddenly began to ache.
Rickie Weeks and Jeff Bianchi opened with singles, but Logan Schafer hit into a double play. Norichika Aoki followed with an RBI single to finally get the Brew Crew on the board, then Lee just missed on a would-be called third strike. Instead, Carlos Gomez waited him out and then singled, ending Lee's day.
"In the eighth, I just started cramping up," Lee said. "My arms, my hips, my hamstrings ... I guess I was dehydrated or something. I didn't know what the deal was."
But he had heard Papelbon was sick, and he might have known that second-best option Mike Adams was unavailable since he'd thrown in three of the previous four games. So maybe that was a headache coming on after De Fratus came on to walk pinch-hitter Aramis Ramirez. That brought on Brewers catcher Jonathan Lucroy, who spent the prior two nights doing a fine Babe Ruth impersonation.
Lee (7-2) had rendered Lucroy hitless in three at-bats, but against De Fratus, Lucroy fouled off several offerings before roping one down the left-field line that hit the top railing of the upper fence near the foul pole and bounced left along the warning track.
While umpire crew chief Tom Hallion signalled grand slam, Charlie Manuel came out to insist on a video encore, and Lucroy would soon be judged as hitting a non-homer, negotiated down to a three-run triple.
"(Hallion) said, 'I knew it hit something,'" Manuel said, "and I said it hit the rail. He said, 'We'll go look at it.'"
De Fratus didn't quite know where the ball landed, either, but he had tried to guide its path.
"I was telling myself, 'Get foul,'" De Fratus said. "I didn't think it had the distance. When I saw it hit off the wall ... I just accepted it was a home run. I thought that now I had a two-run lead, so make it stop now."
It did when De Fratus induced Yuniesky Betancourt to line out to left, leaving the score at 7-4. Before long, however, it would become clear to everyone that a Papelbon save wouldn't be in store.
"I'm concerned about our closer any time that he's sick," Manuel said. "We're supposed to have the best doctors in the world and they are definitely looking at him. Hopefully, we can get him well as soon as possible.
"I'll tell you what, I had the same thing. I had cramps, I felt real bad. I had a lot of congestion and my head and my sinuses were killing me."
Plop-plop, fizz-fizz ... oh, is this how this team's relief corps is?
The surprise mound guest for the top of the ninth was Bastardo, who in his drive for save No. 1 of the season went single-walk-RBI single to Alex Gonzalez, Weeks and Bianchi.
Bastardo received calming instructions from visiting coach Rich Dubee, and with everyone in the Phils dugout feeling sick, proceeded to retire three of the last four batters to keep the 7-5 score intact.
So much for relaxing Sunday strolls. Got to keep the paying customers entertained. Brown's been doing just that for the past several weeks.
He opened this show with a three-run bomb to right field in the first inning. It was the second time in this series he'd done that, and it was his seventh home run in seven games, eighth in his last nine. On April 23, Brown was hitting .206 with two homers and six RBIs. After going 3-for-3 with a homer and triple Sunday, he's hitting .282 with a majors-best 16 home runs and 40 RBIs.
"I'm just trying to keep it going," Brown said. "I'm trying to continue to improve. We always talk about keeping my stroke small and not trying to do too much, and I think I'll be fine."
The Phils tacked on two more in the first after Brown's bolt. Then in the second, Ben Revere reached on an error and Jimmy Rollins singled. Ryan Howard brought home one run with a sacrifice fly, then Brown's triple scored Rollins to make it 7-0. That would be enough -- barely.
With Chase Utley hurt and limping Howard's swing ailing again, Brown has been carrying the Phillies -- even if that's usually too much of a load to produce anything but a modicum of success.
Plenty of suspense, though.
"We got all the runs in the first couple of innings," Brown said. "That game should have been out of there a long time ago. But that's baseball. If we get the W, that's fine."
Plop-plop, fizz...

Transrectal ultrasound and partial ejaculatory duct obstruction in male infertility. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 1580037 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Partial ejaculatory duct obstruction, due to either a congenital or an acquired cyst or ejaculatory duct stenosis secondary to calcification, chronic inflammation, can produce a wide spectrum of seminal fluid abnormalities. Sperm density may range from azoospermia to normospermia while ejaculate volume can be low to normal. Sperm motility is consistently diminished (less than 30%). We have treated 2 patients with ejaculatory duct stenosis whose diagnosis was accurately made with transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS). We now suggest that TRUS be used when there is a low semen volume (less than 1.0 cc), or low motility (less than 30%), or oligospermia (less than 20 million sperm/mL), and normal findings on physical examination with normal serum gonadotropin values in the absence of any other explanation. |

2.1. 4He
The primordial 4He abundance is best determined from observations of HeII -> HeI recombination lines in extragalactic HII (ionized hydrogen) regions. There is a good collection of abundance information on the 4He mass fraction, Y, O/H, and N/H in over 70 such regions [8, 9, 10]. Since 4He is produced in stars along with heavier elements such as Oxygen, it is then expected that the primordial abundance of 4He can be determined from the intercept of the correlation between Y and O/H, namely YP = Y(O/H -> 0). A detailed analysis [11] of the data found
The first uncertainty is purely statistical and the second uncertainty is
an estimate of the systematic uncertainty in the primordial abundance
determination. The solid box for
4He in Figure 1 represents
the range (at 2stat)
from (1). The dashed box extends this by including the systematic
uncertainty. The He data is shown in Figure 2.

4He abundance given in Eq. (1).
The helium abundance used to derive

regions obtained from SII data. Izotov, Thuan, & Lipovetsky
proposed a method based on several He
emission lines to ``self-consistently'' determine the electron density.
Their data using this method yields a higher primordial value
As one can see, the resulting primordial 4He abundance shows
significant sensitivity
to the method of abundance determination, leading one to
conclude that the
systematic uncertainty (which is already dominant) may be underestimated.
Indeed, the determination (1) of the primordial
abundance above is based on a combination of the data in refs.

data of ref.

0.239 ± 0.002. The abundance (2) is based solely on the self-consistent
method yields and the data of
One should also note that a recent determination
of the 4He abundance in a single object (the SMC) also using
the self
consistent method gives a primordial abundance of 0.234 ± 0.003

where [O/H] refers to the log of the
Oxygen abundance relative to the solar value, in the units used in
Figure 2,
this corresponds to 106O/H = 135). Therefore, it will useful
to discuss some of the
key sources of the uncertainties in the He abundance determinations and
prospects for
improvement. To this end, I will briefly discuss, the importance of
reddening and
underlying absorption in the H line line measurements, Monte Carlo
methods for both H and He, and underlying absorption in He.
The He abundance is typically quoted relative to H, e.g., He line strengths are
measured relative to
. The H data must
first be corrected for underlying absorption and reddening.
Beginning with an observed line flux
F(, and an equivalent width
W(), we can
parameterize the correction for underlying stellar absorption as
The parameter a is expected to be relatively insensitive to
wavelength. A reddening correction is applied to determine the
intrinsic line intensity

an assumed universal reddening law and
C(H) is
the correction factor to be determined. By minimizing the differences between

H and
H, one can determine the
parameters a and
self consistently
[13], and run a Monte
Carlo over the input data to test the robustness of the solution and to
determine the systematic uncertainty associated with these corrections.
In Figure 3
the result of such a Monte-Carlo
based on synthetic data with an assumed correction of 2 Å for underlying
absorption and a value for
= 0.1 is shown. The synthetic data were assumed to have an intrinsic
2% uncertainty. While the mean value of the Monte-Carlo results very
accurately reproduces the input parameters, the
spread in the values for a and
are considerably larger than one would have derived from the direct
2 minimization solution
due to the covariance in a and

propagated into the analysis for 4He.
We can quantify the contribution to the overall He abundance
uncertainty due to the reddening correction by propagating the error in
eq. (3). Ignoring all other uncertainties in

In the example discussed above,
C(H) are 0.237,
0.208, 0.109, -0.225, -0.345, -0.396, for He lines at
3889, 4026, 4471, 5876,
6678, 7065, respectively. For the bluer lines, this correction alone is 1
- 2% and must be added in quadrature to any other observational errors
in XR. For the redder lines, this uncertainty is 3 -
4%. This
represents the minimum uncertainty which must be included in the
individual He I emission line strengths relative to
Next one can perform an analogous procedure to that described above
to determine the 4He abundance
[13]. We
again start with a set of observed quantities: line intensities

reddening correction previously determined along with

stellar absorption, parameterized now by aHeI, a
density dependent collisional correction factor,

implicitly depends on 3 unknowns, the
electron density, n, aHeI, and
One can use 3-6 lines to determine the
weighted average helium abundance,
From ,
we can calculate the
2 deviation from the average,
and minimize 2, to determine
n, aHeI, and .
Uncertainties in the output parameters are also determined.
In principle, under the assumption of small values for the optical
depth (3889), it is possible to use
only the three bright lines
5876, and
6678 and still solve
self-consistently for He/H, density, and aHeI.
Of course, because these lines have relatively low sensitivities
to collisional enhancement, the derived uncertainties
in density will be large.
addition of 7065 was proposed
as a density diagnostic and then,
3889 was later added to
estimate the radiative
transfer effects (since these are important for
Thus the five line method has the potential of self-consistently
determining the density and optical depth in the addition to
the 4He abundance.
The procedure described here differs somewhat from that proposed in
[9], in that
the 2 above is based on
a straight weighted average, where as in
the difference of a ratio of He abundances (to one wavelength, say
4471) to the theoretical
ratio is minimized. When the reference line is
particularly sensitive to a systematic effect such as underlying stellar
absorption, this uncertainty propagates to all lines this way.
Adding 4026 as a diagnostic
line increases the leverage
on detecting underlying stellar absorption. This is because
the 4026 line is a relatively
weak line. However, this also
requires that the input spectrum is a very high quality one.
4026 is also provides
exceptional leverage to underlying
stellar absorption because it is a singlet line and therefore
has very low sensitivity to collisional enhancement (i.e., n)
and optical depth (i.e., (3889)) effects.

As in the case of the hydrogen lines, Monte-Carlo
simulation of the He data can be used to test the robustness of the
solution for

Figure 4 presents the
results of modeling of 6 synthetic He I line observations. The
four panels show the results of a density = 100 cm-3,
aHeI = 0, and

The solid lines show the input values (e.g., He/H = 0.080)
for the original calculated spectrum. The solid circles
(with error bars) show the results of the
2 minimization solution
(with calculated errors) for the original synthetic input spectrum.
The small points show the results of Monte Carlo realizations
of the original input spectrum.
The solid squares (with error bars) show the means and dispersions
of the output values for the
2 minimization solutions of
the Monte Carlo realizations.
Figure 4 demonstrates several important points. First,
the 2 minimization
solution finds the correct input
parameters with errors in He/H of about 1% (less than the
2% errors assumed on the input data, showing the power of
using multiple lines).
There is a systematic trend for the
Monte Carlo realizations to tend toward higher values of
He/H. This is because, the inclusion of errors has allowed
minimizations which find lower values of the density and
non-zero values of underlying absorption and optical depth.
Note that the size of
the error bars in He/H have expanded by roughly 50% as a result. We can
conclude from this that simply adding additional lines or physical
parameters in the minimization does not necessarily lead to the correct
results. In order to use the minimization routines effectively, one must
understand the role of the interdependencies of the individual
lines on the different physical parameters. Here we have shown
that trade-offs in underlying absorption and optical depth allow
for good solutions at densities which are too low and resulting
in helium abundance determinations which are too high.
Note that in the lower right panel of
Figure 4 that the values of the
2 do not correlate
with the values of y+. The solutions at higher values of
absorption and y+ are equally valid as those at lower
absorption and y+.

Figure 4 except that the
underlying absorption is 0.1 Å and
(3889) = 0.1.
Figure 5
shows the results of the Monte Carlo when both
and aHeI
0, and n = 100 cm-3.
It is encouraging that in perhaps more realistic cases where the input
parameters are non-zero, we are able to derive results very close to their
correct values. The average of Monte Carlo realizations is remarkably
close to the straight minimization for all of the derived parameters
(n, aHeI,
y+). However, there is an enormous dispersion in
these results due to the degeneracy in the solutions with respect to the
physical input parameters. This results in error estimates for
parameters which are significantly larger than in the straight
minimization. For example, the uncertainties in both the density and
optical depth are almost a factor of 3 times larger in the Monte Carlo.
When propagated into the uncertainty in the derived value for the He
abundance, we find that the uncertainty in the Monte Carlo result (which
we argue is a better, not merely more conservative, value) is a factor of
2.5 times the uncertainty obtained from a straight minimization using 6
line He lines. This amounts to an approximately 4% uncertainty in the He
abundance, despite the fact that we assumed (in the synthetic data) 2%
uncertainties in the input line strengths. This is an unavoidable
consequence of the method - the Monte Carlo routine explores the
degeneracies of the solutions and reveals the larger errors that
should be associated with the solutions.
In Figure 6, I show the result of a single
case based on the data of ref.
for SBS1159+545.

Trying to understand my lack of enthusiasm for events that inspire jubilation in a majority of society... (self.infj)
submitted 1 year ago * by skokage
As many people are aware, today the supreme court struck down the constitutionality of DOMA, opening the door to gay marriage. You would think that I, as a gay man, would share the feelings of joy that is streaming through my facebook feed today, but unfortunately I just find myself completely indifferent to it and I wish I understood why (not to mention furthering my feelings of isolation within the rest of society)... Does anyone else find themselves not nearly as impressed or moved as others when things like this occur?
Perhaps I just feel that it should always have been thus and therefore feel no especial need to celebrate? Does anyone else find themselves mostly underwhelmed when compared to the general reactions of society, even when you know it's steady progress forward?
Ninja Edit - Sorry if this seems a bit scatter brained. I tried to talk to a few friends about my feelings, and the responses were not at all what I was looking for, and was hoping to maybe pick the brains of people who's minds work a little closer to the ways in which mine does.
[–]amstarcasanova 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (2 children)
I feel like this with a lot of things, just not events such as this but anything in general that usually is followed with excitement. Inside myself I will feel excitement but it's as if my body refuses to react to it in any physical way that others can see.
[–]Nihilophobe 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (1 child)
I pretty much only express excitement (or any emotional extreme, really) when drunk. It's like I'm afraid people will make fun of me or something, which is especially irrational since exuberance is one of the things I'm most attracted to in people.
[–]amstarcasanova 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago (0 children)
You sound just like me! When I get drunk it all comes out and of course then you aren't going to care at all. That so much though I'm sometimes nervous to express the qualities I have for myself that I look for in other people as well.
[–][deleted] 8 points9 points10 points 1 year ago (0 children)
it should always have been thus
[–]coniferous1INFJ - 26 - Gay 6 points7 points8 points 1 year ago (0 children)
It doesn't feel like much of a victory, because things always should of been this way. I mean, it's just common sense.
I get excited for real achievements, not eradication of stupidity.
I hope that doesn't make me look like an asshole. I know a lot of hard work went into the repeal, and it's not that I don't respect all the effort that went into it. It's just another one of these "god humankind is stupid" things that I prefer not to look at.
[–]InsaneHiccup 5 points6 points7 points 1 year ago (0 children)
As an ally, I have a bit of subdued happiness for my friends who will now be able to have the choice to marry and still retain federal benefits. However, I too, don't share the jubilation. Perhaps you see it as more the universe righting itself. Not a cause for celebration, because this is how it's supposed to be, but still nice. That's how I feel about it anyway. Feel free to explore more options!
[–]_crystallineINFJ 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I think because INFJ's can see the bigger picture it can be difficult to appreciate small details. Kind of an "Until all are free none are free" thing. Winning a battle is not winning a war. And when you're as idealistic as an INFJ it's hard to see a moment to celebrate.
[–]JKwingsfan 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
I don't know, I've always been a huge supporter of LGBT rights, but I guess it just feels sort of like a hollow victory since it was decided by the court rather than by ballot. Our culture has shifted, and of course it played a role -- there's no way this ruling would have been made ten years ago -- but still it feels like a political concession has been made rather than a fundamental right recognized.
[–]israellimon 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago* (0 children)
Well, it's like the Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, it's great that it's a law now, but should have been a law a long time ago. It feels sometimes like a 10 year old being fed by his parents and then celebrating about it, parents are supposed to feed their children, no need to celebrate if they do, it's their duty.
Plus, I think people are naively assuming that obtaining gay rights is going to fix everything in society and so now it's all going to be lovely and peachy and everyone is going to be happy forever and ever (there's still a lot of things that need to be addressed).
Did the civil rights movement fix everything? no, did it even end racism? it certainly helped but no. African americans just acquired the rights to be treated as every other citizen, which was long overdue, racism still exists. Young gay people (and their supporters) should talk to older african americans so they come to realize that the acquiring the right to marry doesn't mean the fight is over at all, they should be in it for the long haul. The very fact that gay people can now get married in different places around the world cannot be credited to this generation but to the generations that preceded it that have been pushing for this for decades.
[–]pouncer11 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago (0 children)
Perhaps it's not what you're looking for, and maybe I am just depressed, but i hardly get excited for anything.
We could be going to a theme park or I could be graduating college; doesn't matter, I'm just not very excited. I might be happy about it, but rarely ever excited. I've been told I even look upset when I am pretty happy and having a good time.

GOODNESS! Was just talking to my INTJ roommate/great friend about my general view of politics and big events like this. Every time something big like this happens, I listen to him give me an overview of what went down and since I love him and am fascinated by his brain, I relish his summaries. However, it always ends in us both agreeing that yep, there are a lot of willfully ignorant folks in this world, and they'll likely have a lot of power and eventually abuse it. That is just how the world works in general. As a black queer woman, I, too, feel as if I should be a super activist esp. with regard to women's rights and gay rights and SO MANY RIGHTS, but it's just not where I feel comfortable. I try to read up on things from time to time, but I feel like for the most part, a lot of events/rules/battles are just illusions that folks love and live to cling to and perpetuate, and the best I can do is be a better me, while expecting very little of others. I think this could be a bit of an INFJ thing because we tend to focus on an idealistic world where people are generally empathetic, decent, etc. (read: traits). And to me (and maybe others here?), it all seems so simple and quite frankly - f*cking common sense, but to most it's not. We cannot all be the same, anyway. So yeah. I believe I get what you are trying to say. Put away that guilt. As an INFJ, you have the gift/curse of seeing things most do not see. There will always be the chance that you may be viewed as excessively melancholy or reluctant to be happy. You're not. (Well if you're clinically depressed, you might be -- but outside of that.) You're just not in the grip of the illusion that comes with the physical world we live in. You're unable to ignore the fact that most of us choose to be ignorant. Don't beat yourself up too much. Simply do your best to be happy for those who have been waiting to marry and now are able to. The fact remains that it is still a dream come true for many.

I'm an INFJ and in comparison would be super excited if weed was legalized. but maybe that's because it affects my everyday life directly while being able to get gay married might take a while to be applicable
edit: to be clear I'm not comparing the importance between pot legalization and gay marriage legalization, just that both should already be legalized

State's internal social network speeds up collaboration
Tuesday - 7/12/2011, 11:56am EDT
Corridor - formerly Statebook - is now in its beta stage at the State Department.
The internal social network now has 5,000 members.
Richard Boly, director of the office of eDiplomacy at State, told Federal News Radio that Corridor has cut the time it takes to solve a difficult problem within hours.
"This is something that could have taken weeks to work on alone or just within the office, and yet it was crowdsourced into our internal crowd," Boly said in the interview.
State has also set up two-day tech camps to help employees who may not feel comfortable using the social network or are unsure how technology can be practically applied to their day-to-day work.

Reptile Water Bowls
Water Bowls provide your animals with the single most important nutrient they need - water. Naturalistic water bowls are cast from durable, easy to clean resin, and are designed to mimic natural rock, making your animal feel more at home. The slightly rough external surface allows your snake or lizard to utilize the water bowl as a shed aide. Easy to clean, great looking, and a great value - what more could you want from a naturalistic water bowl from Josh's Frogs?

World Tour: London 2006
London is an amazing city, and we had two beautiful models showing us around.
In honor of the London Olympics, we look back at some never published photos from our 2006 World Tour, when we spent the day hanging out in London with Natalie and Britney.
We discovered this Irish beauty on a trip to England, and we got some incredible photos of her in an airplane hangar.
Britney is a sexy Brit we shot in London and in Miami. She an awesome gal and we loved the shoot.
